Alright dudes/ettes,

I put my 8000 on standby tonight and about 5 minutes later I noticed a green line about 2mm thick come on the led on the front going vertically down the first digit on the time. The line is green and looks to be the same brightness as when the box is on. Does anybody have any ideas what it might be or have experienced such issues? It only goes away once I turn my box off either at he wall or by flicking the switch at the back to off. I can supply screenshot

Thanks,

Mark

HI mate, I would test it by using a different skin / image or by editing the skin.xml file yourself. If the line doesn't go away then its a repair job !

thanks for that man. I tell you, i updated dream elite about 3 weeks ago to version 1.30 and suddenly this comes on. I know them front LED's cost quite a bit and am reluctant to replacing it at the moment. I had it on standby and the hard drive was still going and then after about 5mins that green line just suddenly appears out of nowhere...stupid thing, the hard drive then stopped it's business 5 minutes after that and it all went quiet apart from me seeing this stupid green line.

I will let people know later in the week if a new image or if re-installing this image sorts it, how much you reckon these LED panels cost to replace then, about £50?
